Our tagline is people + parks, and we take that to heart. We know the people we work with, both inside and outside the office, are what make this organization successful, and we’re proud of the team we’ve put together. Each of us is committed to making Austin’s parks, trails and green spaces great for each and every Austinite.

Favorite thing about being on the APF Staff:
I love the focus on community building and park stewardship because in a big, busy and growing city we can all tend to overlook the needs of our own neighbors and neighborhoods.
